I want to start by saying Thank you for all of your donations and time across the country and in town. Thank you to all of Tim's work guys to make the kids home ready for them when they are ready. You all went out in the POURING rain, and are almost done, and we are so so grateful for everyone involved with this project.
It truly astounds me how kind and giving everyone has been here in Savannah. Even people who have no clue what we are going through are have been so kind and giving. I stepped out of the hotel room after swinging by for a change of clothes, and our room neighbor just offered me a watermelon? Just "my husband works for a fruit place here" and watermelon. So random and so kind!
Now for the Kiddos. Sister had a great day with her visitors, her best friend came all the way to see her, and she just brightened up so much. Things have been really tough on her, she is just the most aware kiddo and is always asking about her brothers and if we adults are OK. She has maybe about 30 ducks in her room- and says not enough.
Eldest has been walking around in his room to the bathroom (with a nurse still) and both boys were able to get a shower for the first time here and are much refreshed and comfortable. A Pokémon plushy was placed near and he went Face first to squish it- very surprising! But loves.
Youngest boy is feeling much better, wanting to get up from the bed and in his wheel chair and running your aunts a little frazzled with your energy, but has charmed the whole staff.
Because we were doing so much running back and forth delivering messages between the two Youngest chatter boxes I found some Bluey themed walkie-talkies so that they can tell each other themselves, a welcome gift for both so they can stay in touch (and prank each other with spooky voices)
We should know a lot more by Tuesday- between a surgery for big brother and figuring out Monday things, so we are all looking forward to a kid focused (maybe calm) Sunday.
They all miss their parents of course, Auntie Tami brought some of mom's hoodies from home and the kids have been so happy to have a piece of home to snuggle.
More tomorrow.
